@BestStephenD @AnitaAnandMP Our PM and Anita don’t see to care what the majority of Canadians think. They are blatantly ignoring us.

Canada condemns in the strongest terms Iranian missile and drone attacks targeting energy facilities across the Gulf region, including the recent strike on Qatar’s Ras Laffan liquefied natural gas complex. Canada is equally appalled by the deliberate targeting of oil and gas infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and other Gulf countries. We will continue to engage actively with Gulf partners and the international community in support of de-escalation.

@MickMechanics There's this device you should learn about. It's called a stationary battery. Other thing, it's nuclear that's insanely expensive, too expensive to economically viable.

One nuclear reactor. 1.9 million solar panels. Same capacity, but nuclear runs 24/7 regardless of weather. I'll take boring and reliable over expensive and intermittent any day.

Here’s just a small sample of the Liberal government's devastating cuts:  - Indigenous Services and Crown-Indigenous Relations - CBC - Local Food Infrastructure (community-led food security projects) - Public health - Canada’s International Climate Finance Commitment - CRA, making it harder to go after tax cheats - Access to Information All to free up money for unprecedented public spending on weapons and the military.  In other words: Austerity for programs and services Canadians rely on.  Bottomless money pit for war.  This is not what we voted for. This is why Canada needs the NDP. globalnews.ca/news/11737460/…

@pmddomingos You've been misinformed. Iran is defending itself. The US and Israel are waging war on Iran.

The American founding was a Protestant founding. This is historically indisputable.

80% of Americans support requiring photo ID to vote. That's not a partisan issue. That's a mandate. I've been fighting to pass the SAVE Act because only American citizens should be deciding U.S. elections. It's that simple.

CBS News Poll: Do you favor or oppose requiring people to show valid photo ID before they are permitted to vote? 🟢 Favor: 80% 🟤 Oppose: 20% —— • Dem: 65-35 (+30) • GOP: 95-5 (+90) • Indie: 79-21 (+58) • White: 80-20 (+60) • Black: 80-20 (+60) • Hispanic: 77-23 (+55) YouGov | 3/16-19 | 2,496 A

Listening to the various pundits pundit about the future of the @NDP, I get the impression that not are aware that the next election is likely just over 3 1/2 years away and they haven't noticed the organizing and rhetorical skills of @avilewis and @HMcPhersonNDP.

@PeterMcCormack Capital and "productive, successful people" are two different things. Too, your understanding of "borrowing, tax rates, inflation and public services" is mired in the thinking that produced the Great Depression.

Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪
People who think the Green Party’s economic ideas are viable have no idea how quickly capital leaves the moment policies like that get close to power. Capital is like water! They also clearly do not understand what this means for borrowing, tax rates, inflation and public services. Everything they want is funded off the back of productive, successful people. You can cry about it all you like, but you don’t get to rewrite the rules of economics just because you don’t like them. I mean you can and you can brand them "Zackonomics", but it will be a catastrophic failure. Economics is based on human behaviour and incentives, envy and coercion has no place in any model.

The NDP's federal leadership race has no French-speaking candidates. Does that doom them from the start? Podcast: @TheHerleBurly | Leichnitz & Topp: Is the party over for Canada's NDP? ▶️🔗youtu.be/cfWlBo_-Ju8?si…

@AlistairMorley @RogerPielkeJr I ran your comment through various critiques and while it contains some truth, it's essentially hyped hindsight. that relies on the very thing you accuse of Ehrlich of: abuse of opponents.

@BestStephenD @RogerPielkeJr He didn't. He was roundly criticised on his methodology by many others at the time, including Rand etc. _His error was obvious at the time_ - for those willing to think. Rather than answer the scientific critique, he simply ignored or abused his opponents.

This from Paul Ehrlich will make you think "If I'm always wrong so is science, since my work is always peer-reviewed, including the POPULATION BOMB and I've gotten virtually every scientific honor." Link in reply
